Property Description
THIS IS THE LOWEST PRICED WATERFRONT W/PRIVATE DOCK PROPERTY IN NEWPORT BEACH! The existing cottage was built in 1933, and is currently comprised of 2 units. The charming main unit overlooks the quiet Rivo Alto Channel, w/2 BRs /1BA, Fireplace, oversized patio & could be a full-time, weekend or summer home, & the 2nd 1 BR/1BA unit short-term vacation rental. The lot size & location is a great opportunity to build your dream home that could offer ocean & hills views from rooftop deck(s). Experience the romance of gondolas passing through the canal by day & night, launch paddleboards or enjoy the convenience of boarding your boat from a private dock. This hidden gem neighborhood faces Newport Island & is set for a major enhancement with under grounding of utilities scheduled for later this year. Also, many of the vintage cottages are being torn down & replaced by modern day single-family residences. The entire Balboa Peninsula is experiencing an impressive beautification process, which means property values are definitely on the upswing here! Just 2 blocks from the sand, short walk to parks, fine dining, quaint shopping, art galleries & movie theater. Bicycle to Lido Marina & Cannery Villages, the new Marina Park or Balboa Fun Zone, peaceful morning beach walks, a day of boating, picturesque sunsets, alfresco entertaining, or quiet moments to yourself... there’s just no place quite like the Newport Beach Waterfront Lifestyle!

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
